Developing for Mobile devices

Hello,

How would you going about changing a site so that it displays well on the iPhone? I know all about how it should be designed (very simplistic, no Flash, etc.), but my question is how I should go about this. Should I try to use PHP code to detect a mobile user and then redirect them to a separate page on the domain that is iPhone-friendly?

You should use a fluid layout. You can do that by adjusting the width of your main container to 100% rather than a specific width in pixel. This layout is compatible to Iphone.

Ok. So far everything looks good in device central. Now how on earth do I get drop-down menus to work?

Thanks,

Ok my main question is, how to I get my site to look the way it does in device central?

When I preview it on my iPhone, it tries to display the entire site.. how do I get it like other sites where it has a certain width and you can scroll down to see the content, sort of like a newspaper column?
